GAS LEAK TESTINGIt is important that you leak test the BBQ before first use and every time the gas cylinder is refilled and reconnected to the BBQ.

To Complete Leak Test• Make sure all the control knobs are OFF.

• In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent/soap.

• Mix the solution well (about the same concentrate as washing up water).

• Turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob anti-clockwise.

• Using a brush or spay bottle apply the soap solution to the gas line and each join in the gas line including:

- the gas connection at the inlet of the BBQ

- all gas hose connections

- the gas connecftion at the gas cylinder

• If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak.

• If the leak is at the hose connection, re-tighten and re-seal.

• If the leak is anywhere else or you cannot resolve the leak by tightening the connection DO NOT PROCEED.

• Turn the gas cylinder off clockwise.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your new gas barbecue is no exception. By following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your barbecue will be kept clean and working properly with minimum effort.

Flash-Back Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. Cleaning with a soft brush before use and at least every six months is recommended.

This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.

If fire occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner ports.

Cleaning the Cooking SurfaceAfter cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let barbecue cool before attempting to clean the cooking surface. Before first use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the cooking surface in a mild soap and warm water solution.

Care of Cooking SurfaceUse and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not use pans on the cooking surface. Do not overheat the cooking surface with the hood down or no food on the cooking surface.

Cleaning the Drip TrayTo avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue remove and empty the drip tray after each use. Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch before disposing of contents.

The drip tray should be washed periodically in a mild detergent and warm water solution.

IMPORTANT• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should be inspected and cleaned periodically.

• This appliance must only be serviced by an authorised person.

• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended that the drip tray be checked and emptied regularly. Contents of the drip tray may be very hot during cooking. If emptied during extended cooking extreme caution should be taken and direct contact by hand should be avoided at all times. Allow to cool completely before disposing of the contents.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

PreheatingIt is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least 5 minutes before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature, your BBQ only needs a period of 2-3 minutes preheating.

Cooking TemperaturesHIGH setting - Use this setting only for fast warm up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue from the grill plates after cooking is over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting for extended cooking.

MEDIUM setting (mid-way between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’). Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.

LOW setting - Use this setting when cooking very lean cuts such as fish. These temperatures vary with outside temperature and the amount of wind.

RoastingFor best results when roasting remove the hotplate and centre the grill. The outer two burners should be used on the low to medium setting.

Adjust the control knob to maintain the temperature around the medium mark (approx 200° to 230°).

Approximate Cooking TimeThe table below shows approximate cooking times with the control set to ‘MEDIUM’ temperature.

Barbecue Roasts Minutes (approx.)
